Elon Musk has faced criticism from many after pollster Nate Silver released a “popularity tracker” focused on him. The tracker shows that 39.6% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Musk, compared to 53.5% who hold a favorable opinion.
Musk acknowledged the numbers in a tweet, saying he is having trouble countering negative propaganda against him while lacking a strong opposing campaign. His net favorability rating is -13.8%, significantly lower than President Trump’s -5.1%.
The tracker’s data shows Musk’s popularity declined after his endorsement of Trump last July and took a sharp drop since Trump’s inauguration in January. Some officials described Musk as “annoying” and said interacting with him was like listening to rusty nails on a chalkboard, highlighting his polarizing nature.
